splendid.

If you don't want anything to move, use absolute positioning.

If you don't want anything to move - think again. It's going to move
anyway, for some readers, so you might do better to work -with- the
properties of the medium. Some CSS properties are more suitable for
specific display situations, but are better avoided when the result
will be displayed over the whole range of display situations on the
WWW.

Unless you're a real wizard with graceful fallback techniques, but
then surely you'd know better than to ask for "nothing to move".

Of course I have to correct myself for technical accuracy: the
"splendid" remark was directed to the fluid layout. I'm afraid I
failed to spot the "relative positioning ... default for CSS" detail,
which of course is wrong. Sorry about that, good job that someone else
picked it up.
